If OpenAI is to die soon for lack of a moat this would be a very "funny" way to pivot back before the deluge. "Our company might die but AI is still a thing. How about we protect you with UBI? You just need to give us all of your biometrics that we conveniently lobbied to make mandatory on socials"

end of last year i wanted to do a retrospective of Kevin Carson's The Desktop Regulatory State a decade on and then Minneapolis happened and i realized i could just gesture toward what was happening as clearly being just one more bit of evidence with regards to the premise of the book

how are they getting enough sleep, lifting heavy, and getting married if they're at work from 9 to 9 6 days a week? they have to pick one and i think we all know they've actually picked 0 of the 3

I wonder how many of us cared beyond Snow Crash and Diamond Age because I sure had no idea

reminder: opsec will get you through times of bad cryptography better than cryptography will get you through times of bad opsec

I just finished reading and it is so much worse than I even imagined. Palantir effectively controls some of our most sensitive data - from nukes to the NHS - and Palantir is loyal to the US.

there's an option where anthropic kills openai and they take Microsoft with them

This picture needs more candles

After a long period of vice-signaling supremacy, Twitter is going through a mass preference falsification collapse, whereby the selfish apathetic normies and less-committed racists are distancing from the suicide-cult fascists. Fascism was cool until it became potentially personally inconvenient.

in Berlin, a cop training manual (treated as confidential of course) on how to inflict pain has been published via the FragdenStaat platform.

I wrote in detail about Reform’s plans for a fascist takeover of the UK using “uncontrolled illegal immigration” as their way in. Around 3,500 words. Reading time 15-20 minutes (I think). I’m gonna read it out for Shado’s podcast “Shado in focus” soon as well shado-mag.com/articles/opi...

Completely sincere question but what, exactly, did you think Palantir was doing lol

r/accelerate is so funny. "Everything is about to change for everyone whether they like it or not [...] nooooo, don't bring politics in our discussions!"

That's quite a turn-around from claiming pepper spray is basically just a food product

The researchers replaced conventional normalization layers with Derf, a simplified, element-wise function derived from the Gaussian error function. By applying a smooth "squishing" effect to activations, Derf maintains numerical stability during training.

You heard the man, 🗣️ Let 👏 the 👏 right 👏 wing 👏 death 👏 squads 👏 operate 👏 at 👏 night 👏.

This is probably a good time to mention that *multiple* incel mass shooters used squirt guns to run around and practice doing mass shootings whether he was squirting a toxic chemical or a water this is a specific right wing cultural message that shooter fans know intimately

This poster is so frelling funny man

@mara.x0f.nl Looks like something you'd enjoy

A general strike in Minneapolis. Student walkouts across the country. Demonstrations break out everywhere, organized by prisoners, workers, and youth - are all picking up speed. Masses of people are working together to organize mutual aid + community solidarity on a growing scale. A thread.

MPD were LRAD'ing people like last night so I assume most of the cops will mysteriously "not see" ICE kidnapping/murdering/etc

I should probably start hoarding Japanese novels because the prospect of slowly forgetting the language is pretty stressful tbh. I need my memory to be augmented by yesterday

Cool insight but you didn't see anything

He thought he was going to die 5 days before he was killed, and he went right back out there. Alex Pretti was a true hero.

We laugh at the masses of right-wingers who cannot fathom giving a shit and so massively misunderstand us, but far more dangerous is the genre of right-winger who comes to understand with horror that sincere altruism exists in this world and sets their entire life towards frantically destroying it.

All institutions should strive to be like the AAP. Consistently under threat, consistently refusing to bend or compromise on their ideals.

deleting signal now that it's compromised. find me at the ringed city (bring a dark soul with you)

The Gestapo is being exported. This is why Abolishing ICE is a matter of global urgency.

THERE IS NO MORAL ARC OF HISTORY BUT THE ONE WE BEND WITH OUR OWN BARE HANDS

LMAO You can't throw enough under the bus to quell the rage, we're coming for ALL OF THEM.

It's cool that more people wanna read, but also "there had been 3,000 people on a waiting list to access a limited number of e-book copies" is the kind of common capitalist absurdity our descendants should make fun of us for until the heat death of the universe

feels like theres been an uptick in misinfo and slop on here lately as well as some bigwigs who should know better getting lazy remember to practice good epistemic hygiene folks, to be epistemically diligent and vigilant

The right-wing mind cannot imagine the spontaneous logistics of like five bored punks around a pot of lentils and are thus spooked by what is literally just an average zine.

The student organizers who mobilized Friday's massive action are now calling for a National Shutdown this Friday, January 30.
